Former State Pharmaceuticals Corporation Chairman Mohamed Rumy has been remanded until January 6, 2020, in connection to a controversial news briefing.
Rumy was produced before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court following his arrest after surrendering to the Criminal Investigations Department today (Dec 31).
